Mason, tailed to reflect the opinions and wishes of the people of Virginia in their recent opposition, in the Senate of the United States, to a reference of the report of the Peace Conference to the consideration of the States of this Confederacy, with a view of having the amendments proposed in said report adopted, as part of the Constitution of the United States.

He deplored the election of Lincoln, or any other sectional President; but he should oppose him with the weapons of reason, and when they failed it was time enough to resort to the ultima ratio. Aga that she should secede. He believed her honor required that she should contend for her rights, and not yield an inch to her enemies. It had also been said that Lincoln would use the patronage of the Federal Government to corrupt Virginia. This was an argument that he would not dare to use before his people, and would only say iarty was not. The Chicago platform did not endorse the John Brown raid, but denounced it. If they had endorsed it in their platform, they never could have elected Lincoln or any one else upon it. The Richmond Enquirer had said that no man would endorse the Peace Conference proposition, unless he were himself a Black Republican. He

The country would not only be divided into a Northern and a Southern Confederacy, but in course of time it would be divided into petty Confederacies, and then would come constant warfare, of which we have an example in the South American empire. Another result would be the commencement of the abolition of slavery, first in Virginia, and ultimately in the whole South. This was the idea of Sumner, Phillips and Garrison.--They wanted to draw a belt of fire around us. Whether it be right or wrong, the moral sentiment of the world was against slavery, and the force of all would be exerted against it.--Entangling foreign alliances would be another evil result. If the Union is dissolved, too, Great Britain could conquer the South, and she had no means of preventing it.

The proposition of the Peace Conference commended itself to him, and he believed it would to the people also. Mr. Leare, of Goochland, inquired if there was any question before the Convention. If not, the gentleman from Harrison was out of order. Mr. Carlile said if any gentleman objected to his going on, he would take his seat.
